KERRY KI KHATTI MITHI CHUTNEY

SWEET N SOUR RAW MANGO RELISH

Kachi Kerry or Raw Mango is of green color generally. It has a great nutritional value, as it has more of Vitamin C compared to the ripe Mango. Due to Vitamin C, Kachi Kerry or Raw Mango is great for the immune system of the body, it has all B vitamins in it.

Kerry is used in many ways in sub-continent ie. Chutney, Murabba, Achar, Lounji, Gur Amba to say a few. Its sour taste mixed with sugar results in an amazing mixture of taste. It is also used in various curry dishes in Pakistan and India apart from other parts of the world.

This Chutney I am preparing here can be used in Ramazan fasting at the time of Iftar (breaking fast), it will help digest the heavy intake of Samosas, Pakoras and other oily snacks taken normally at Iftar time in Pakistan, especially in Karachi.
